Simply translated, liens means link in French, and in the case of Chaumet, is the subject of today’s post; it is something that happens to be one of the French jeweller’s core pillars over its 253-year history.

Encompassing a huge selection of jewellery pieces from necklaces to earrings, we’ll just focus on the baubles that adorn the hand for now, great for those on the lookout for that something extra special come Valentine’s Day or when it’s time to get her to say ‘I do’.

The lien, or the link, takes centrestage on the rings and bands, with either a single or dual link, symbolically linking up both ends and completing the circle as some might say. They come in many forms, from simple 18-carat rhodium-plated white gold bands (first row, 4th from left) to a thick white gold band adorned with a diamond-set link (second row, 1st from left) that looks ample on the finger and makes a statement all by itself.

The most indulgent of the range featured above? The Premier Liens ring in white gold that’s diamond-paved with 38 brilliant-cut sparklers (second row, 4th from left) which retails for SGD7910, quite the proposal ring for those not big on huge singular rocks.

Priced between SGD2540 and SGD8010, you can check them all out for yourself, along with some more pieces in ceramic, adorned with diamond links that are also a sight to behold. And for those who are really keen, you’ll find Chaumet at both ION Orchard and Marina Bay Sands as far as Singapore (and South-East Asia) is concerned.

A French high jeweller better known for their ornate creations since its founding back in 1780, it would come as a surprise to most that Chaumet also has pieces that are more accessible yet no less beautiful. Take their Hortensia collection, for example. An imaginary garden made up of heart-stopping jewellery pieces that range from elaborate rings to delicate head ornaments (read: tiaras), these pieces will easily set you back by tens of thousands.

Then there are these, also part of the Hortensia collection but come with one less zero on the end. No less beautiful than her higher-priced siblings, it’s the workmanship that must shine in a piece so simple, a trio of rings that come in rose, yellow or white gold. Priced at SGD2400 for the first two and SGD2800 for the one in white gold, it’s the closest thing to quite literally wearing a garden of beautiful blooms on your finger. And with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, there’s no better time to head down yourself for a closer look.
